IN CRISIS

-

Can her magic lasso save this one? The much-hyped sequel Wonder Woman 1984 is in chaos, a source on set tells Star. Execs didn’t take the film to ComicCon because they “didn’t have enough exciting scenes edited to show.” Director Patty Jenkins and producer-star Gal Gadot are said to be scheduling reshoots, weighing L.A. over Europe because it’s cheaper. “They’ve left some complicate­d sequences until the end of the schedule, because they wanted the first part of the shoot to focus on the emotions and the story. But this is cutting it close,” says the insider, as this isn’t how it’s done on other blockbuste­rs, and the timing is making the studio nervous: “The sequel has a much higher budget than the first — and far bigger expectatio­ns attached.” A studio rep says claims of trouble on set are “completely untrue.”
